Hi Graham,
Non contiguous text can be selected by Ctrl+click to almost the same extent
as text can be selected by clicking. That is, with the mouse in the left
margin so that the mouse pointer becomes an arrow, Ctrl+click will select
the line to which the arrow is pointing.
Double clicking does not however select the paragraph when the Ctrl key is
depressed. Ctrl+click and drag while the mouse is in the left margin does
of course add/delete lines to what is selected.

Hope this helps.
